“Music Bank” officially opens its doors to Mnet stars

It looks like the icy relations between public and cable broadcasting networks are finally beginning to thaw.

Mnet’s “Superstar K2” contestant, Kim Greem, has been confirmed as a performing act on the April 15th episode of KBS’s “Music Bank“. Previously, only Seo In Kook and Kim Bo Kyung alone were able to promote on the ‘big three’ music programs; the bitter rivalry between public and cable networks often prevented these ‘Mnet stars’ from promoting to their fullest potential.

KBS has been more forgiving than MBC and SBS in the past, as Kim Bo Kyung was the first to break the barrier in “Music Bank” with her solo appearance back in February.

“Music Bank” PD Kim Sang Ho spoke through Star News and revealed, “Our program itself does not have restrictions against certain backgrounds. As long as there is vocal talent, our door is open to anyone. We have every intention of allowing Kim Bo Kyung, Kim Greem, Huh Gak, John Park and other debuts on our stage.”


After seeing such open-mindedness from KBS, the spotlight is now being put on MBC’s “Music Core” and SBS’s “Inkigayo” to offer the same unbiased generosity.


On a much lighter note, Kim Green’s outfit has been earning much attention amongst fans and netizens alike. The singer was seen wearing a unique pattern on her shirt across her chest, leading many to wonder if it held any significant meaning.

Nexstar Entertainment revealed, “Kim Greem suggested that she use her signature for her stage outfit. After autographing her shirt, she added paint, cubics, and other accessories to complete the look.”
